KDE Goals brainstorming
There is already fullscreen unredirection implementation in kwin-lowlatency but it doesn't work good with multi-monitor and the dev isn't planning to upstream it soon afaik

No clue which door, answers this Linux question?
Maybe attach a bounty offer to a specific feature request in the bug-tracking database, as these guys did: https://github.com/tildearrow/kwin-lowlatency/issues/56 ?
-
Do I even need kwin-lowlatency any more ?
On the github page, the author said that kwin-lowlatency is not dead because of full-screen unredirection capabilities with eliminating stuttering without force composition pipeline (force composition pipeline increase latency and reduce performance I believe).

What's the one big thing(s) missing in Linux gaming besides EAC?
This didn't go away when disabling full screen unredirection. https://github.com/tildearrow/kwin-lowlatency/issues/95

Is it just me, or does the Linux **desktop** experience kind of feel lacklustre?
Piggybacking here: Recent Kwin versions had lots of changes internally. If you're already on newest version, try Kwin-lowlatency or KwinFT.

How to reduce Input Lag?
You can read up on some stuff here regarding KDE: https://github.com/tildearrow/kwin-lowlatency

Why is the compositor disabled if a fullscreen game is minimized?
It used to be there as a feature: fullscreen unredirect. But due to some bugs the kwin team removed it. Last time I checked, https://github.com/tildearrow/kwin-lowlatency supported unredirection and also ran much smoother on high refresh rates.

Headless Spotify client for Spotify connect
Basically Raspotify but for windows.

Anyone annoyed with the lack of features? Spotify is resting on their laurels
If you have a raspberry pi, Raspotify works pretty great as a Connect receiver with a little tinkering.

Spotify player with fixed volume output
Raspotify installed on a raspberry pi would be my recommendation. Config allows you to normalise volume controls - have a read here: https://github.com/dtcooper/raspotify/wiki/Configuration

RaspberryPi Now Playing Dashboard using last.fm data and Airplay receiver
The last.fm site will work independently from airplay, so it will display whatever is playing, even if you are not using airplay to stream to your pi. Because it is just a standard Raspberry Pi OS running, you could also set it up as a MPD client https://linuxhint.com/raspberry-pi-music-station-mpd/ or https://github.com/dtcooper/raspotify. As long as you are submitting music to last.fm the song will display.
